(Lapointe played just one game, was sent back to Jr. and made only 3 other NHL appearances that season. He didn't become a regular with the Red Wings until 1995. Joseph also spent time in Jr in 1987-88. Marleau and Staal both stuck with their teams.) Forever1940 is the nom de plume of Eric Hornick, statistician on Islander home telecasts since 1982.
